An eSafety survey of 1,950 Australian children aged 10 to 17 found that 78% had used an AI chatbot, TechXplore reports. Of those users, 54% said they used chatbots for personal or social reasons.
Why it mattersTechXplore’s article asks whether Australia’s new digital duty of care addresses the risks. The figures show why chatbot safeguards for young people are more than a niche policy question, though the supplied report does not spell out what the duty requires.
Discuss: Should digital-safety rules specifically cover children’s use of AI chatbots, or should existing online-safety duties be enough?
